Liu Cheng was an excellent horseman and quickly caught up with Jun Lan ahead on horseback.

The iron cell where Chu Qiang was imprisoned was located in a remote mountain villa on the outskirts of Cangzhou.

The area was heavily guarded by soldiers on all sides, making it a very secure place.

Liu Cheng and Jun Lan could only cross a deserted bamboo forest area and try to find a way out from behind the iron prison.

"Judging from their clothing, they must be bandits from the frontier."

"I've heard that bandits are skilled in witchcraft. We should be careful not to fall into their trap."

"I'll distract the two guards at the door, and you find a way to take out the guards inside."

"Leave it to me! You won't be disappointed!" Liu Cheng said confidently.

"Okay! I'll go first! Be careful!"

After saying this, Junlan put on his mask, condensed his energy, and transformed into a rapidly flying shadow, completely merging into the darkness.

Upon hearing the sound, the guards quickly picked up their drumsticks and struck the drum to signal the enemy.

In an instant, all the guards rushed towards the back door of the iron prison, and the entire manor was completely illuminated.

They held torches and searched everywhere for Junlan's figure.

Meanwhile, Liu Cheng had already taken advantage of the guards' absence and quickly sneaked into the iron cell.

In an effort to buy time, he even blocked the entrance to the iron cage from the inside with a frame.

This iron cage has three gates, each sealed with a special mechanism.

Junlan studied at the Xiaoyao Sect for a year and was able to solve most common mechanisms within half an hour.

Junlan quickly opened the tightly closed stone door and found the location where General Chu Qiang was imprisoned before Liu Cheng could.

Junlan slowly walked inside and saw eight guards stationed outside the iron prison.

Junlan frowned, took out a smoke bomb from behind him, and quickly threw it towards the guards.

With a loud "bang," the smoke grenade slowly dispersed, releasing colorful smoke.

This is not an ordinary smoke bomb, but a smoke bomb with hypnotic effects, meticulously developed by Junlan.

"Thief! Everyone be careful! Don't let the thief escape!"

"Find the thief quickly!"

Junlan stood guard in the dark corner, watching the eight guards panic and walk away in different directions.

"Hehe, in just a quarter of an hour, these people will obediently sleep for three hours."

After single-handedly dealing with the people blocking the passage, Liu Cheng hurriedly rushed into the depths of the iron prison.

However, just when he thought the road to the iron prison would be fraught with danger and difficulties, the scene before him made his heart tremble.

"He can actually open the Hundred Locks Door! This Junlan is truly remarkable!"

As his thoughts settled, he saw a group of swaying figures appear from around the corner of the iron cage, walking towards Liu Cheng.

They swung their swords aimlessly, like zombies.

For example, a drunken man staggers around, trying to find his way.

Liu Cheng's gaze darkened, a hint of doubt rising in his heart, "Are these people poisoned by Gu?"

Just as he swung his sword at the group of guards, before the blade could even fall...

Those people then lay down on the ground like soft mud.

"Dead?"

Liu Cheng cautiously stepped forward and placed his index finger over each person's nostril. "No, they're still breathing!"

"Who used such sorcery? It's amazing how these people can fall asleep so quickly."

With his thoughts settled, Liu Cheng quickly sheathed his sword and flew towards Tie Lao's location.

Inside the iron cell, a strong man had all four limbs chained together.

With her back to Junlan, she buried her head in the wall.

Junlan's heart tightened, and he quickly used his lock-picking skills to open the iron cage.

She held her breath and cautiously walked towards the blood-stained man.

"General Chu, wake up! I've been ordered to rescue you! Come with me!"

Junlan kept shaking the man who was bound by iron chains, hoping that he would come to his senses.

Suddenly, the man slowly opened his blood-red eyes, staring coldly at her, and said mockingly,

"Who sent you?"

"It's Your Highness! General Chu Qiang! Please wait a moment, I'll untie the chains for you right now."

"Oh? You have this skill?" The man's gaze was deep as he carefully observed Jun Lan's every move.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind swept in, and before Junlan could untie the chains, a familiar figure bound her neck, rendering her unable to move.

It's Mo Gui, the leader of the Mo Gui Valley!

Junlan frowned, feeling that Mo Gui was her natural nemesis.

Every time she wanted to accomplish something, Mo Gui would always find a way to interfere.

"He's one of ours! Don't even think about taking him away!" Mo Gui shouted.

Jun Lan narrowed his eyes and grabbed the person trying to take General Chu away with both hands. "Trying to take him away? No way!"

"I don't want to kill anyone tonight. If you don't want to die, let go!" Mo Gui glanced coldly at Jun Lan and warned sharply.

"Arrogant!" With that, Jun Lan spun around and landed on the ground, unleashing a series of kicks at Mo Gui.

Mo Gui had no time to dodge and was knocked to the ground by Jun Lan, losing consciousness for a moment.

Taking advantage of Mo Gui's unconsciousness, Junlan quickly unchained Chu Qiang.

Following the sound, Liu Cheng finally found the location of the iron cage.

"The sound is coming from the iron cage."

At that moment, he saw Junlan put Chu Qiang's arm around his shoulder and walk towards the iron prison gate.

Chu Qiang was tall and strong, while Jun Lan was rather thin and small. Jun Lan had some difficulty carrying Chu Qiang.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed from inside the iron cage, flying swiftly toward Jun Lan's heart.

Liu Cheng's eyes darkened. He abandoned his concentration, gathered all his strength, and quickly flew to Jun Lan's back.

"Pfft!" A mouthful of dark red blood spurted from Liu Cheng's mouth.

Junlan felt a heavy weight press down on him, along with Chu Qiang beside him, and they were all forced to the ground.

Liu Cheng quickly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, carefully helped Jun Lan and Chu Qiang up, and settled them in a safe place.

"Thank goodness we made it in time! Thank goodness you're alright!"

He was in great pain from his injuries, but he saw that the person in front of him was unharmed.

His heart was filled with joy, and he felt no pain even when he was seriously injured.

Junlan's heart sank, and she quickly grabbed Liu Cheng's arm, her voice full of concern.

"Don't go! You're seriously injured! Let me go!"

"It doesn't matter! This is my fight with him! It has nothing to do with you!"

"Sect Leader Junlan, protect General Chu well!"

Liu Cheng gently shook off Jun Lan's arm and quickly flew to Mo Gui's side.

"Hero, have mercy!" Mo Gui pleaded coldly, clutching his injured arm.

"Daydreaming!" With a snap, Liu Cheng gathered one-tenth of his power and slapped Mo Gui's head with his palm.

Suddenly, a layer of light blue light emanated from his head.

"You! You dare to disperse my power! You just wait!" Mo Gui shouted angrily, barely holding on to his last breath.

"From this day forward, you are a cripple! If you ever dare to hurt him again, I will never let you off!"

Liu Cheng's gaze was deep and cold, his eyes as he looked at Mo Gui were as icy as ice.

Mo Gui narrowed his eyes, looked up at Liu Cheng, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart, "Who exactly are you?"

"The one who's here to kill you!"

After saying this, Liu Cheng clutched his chest, which had been pierced by a poisoned arrow, and slowly moved towards Jun Lan.
